Classic Beef with Vadas Sauce | With Homemade Bread Dumplings

Clean the beef, pat it dry, and cut into 4 thick, equal slices. Season with salt and lard them with strips of smoked bacon.

Peel the carrots, parsley root, and celeriac, then slice and dice them. Chop the onion and garlic.

Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and sear the beef slices on both sides over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then remove them onto a plate.
